The USB-UIRT combines the capability of other PC-based
IR Receivers with a fully-featured IR Transmitter
(sometimes referred to as a 'Blaster'). This allows your PC to not
only receive codes from the remote controls you already have, but
also to control your equipment (or any device with an IR
receiver).

FLASH UPGRADABLE

The USB-UIRT's microcontroller is flash upgradable. As bug fixes/new
features/enhancements are identified, the USB-UIRT can be easily upgraded
by the user to incorporate new firmware.

PLUG and PLAY

The USB-UIRT is a Plug-N-Play USB Device. Simply plug it in to a Windows-based
PC running Windows 98, ME, 2K, XP, Vista, or Windows 7 and Windows will
automatically prompt you for the driver disk.

GIRDER Plugin

The USB-UIRT was designed with Girder
in mind. Girder is a professional-quality Windows Automation tool available
here. It allows you to automate events
(such a pressing the 'Play' button on your remote) and send commands (such
as turning the Power ON on your VCR).

3rd-Party Software Support

Built-in USB-UIRT support for many applications is growing! Among the
many applications now supporting the USB-UIRT are:

Developer API

A .dll/.so Library and associated API is being made available to developers
to ease support of USB-UIRT into other products on Windows and Linux platforms.
Contact support for details.

A Look Inside...

The USB-UIRT uses a microcontroller to handle all IR reception
and transmission, thereby offloading this burden from your PC. IR data
is then processed and exchanged with the host PC via a high-speed USB
link.
